In the island nation, the importance of an heir is paramount, even more so for male succession.
After ten years of marriage without a child, and finally conceiving, a daughter was born...
How could Sato Ichikawa continue the Sato family's legacy with this?
So the child born today must be a boy.
Even if it's a girl, she is a boy.
"Takahashi, come, meet these uncles, aunts, and uncles. You must treat them well in the future because without them, there would be no you."
This statement was both a bestowment of grace and a demonstration of power....
The attending doctors and nurses, who were already Sato Ichikawa's people, quickly understood their master's intention and fell to their knees in unison, worshipping the swaddled infant held high, "Young master!"
From then on, Sato Takahashi became the most venerable person in the Sato family.
